摘要:
Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB) to support Mission-Critical Machine Type Communication (MC-MTC) User Equipments (UEs) are disclosed herein. During a transmission notification (TN) monitoring period, the eNB may monitor for TN signals from MC-MTC UEs. When a presence of TN signals is detected, the eNB may refrain from allocation of dedicated MC-MTC traffic resources to other UEs for transmission during a traffic period. In response to a detection of an absence of TN signals from the first group of MC-MTC UEs during the TN monitoring period, the eNB may allocate the dedicated MC-MTC traffic resources to the other UEs for transmission during the traffic period. Starting times of the traffic period and the TN monitoring period may be spaced apart by a predetermined time difference. In some embodiments, the predetermined time difference for MC-MTC UEs may be not greater than 10 milliseconds.

A technology that is operable to release a licensed shared access (LSA) spectrum allocation in a communications network is disclosed. In one embodiment, an evolved node B (eNode B) is configured with circuitry configured to receive, from a spectrum release module located in an evolved packet core (EPC) of the communications network, a spectrum release message requesting the eNode B release one or more selected segments of an LSA spectrum. LSA spectrum release parameters are evaluated for releasing the one or more selected segments of the LSA spectrum. A LSA spectrum release schedule is determined based on the LSA spectrum release parameters. Selected secondary cells (SCells) are deactivated in the communications network based on the LSA spectrum release schedule to release the one or more selected segments of the LSA spectrum.

An Evolved Node-B (eNB) to communicate with a User Equipment (UE) on a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, the eNB comprising: a first logic to determine whether a UE is capable of receiving and transmitting data at substantially the same time or receiving data at two different frequencies at the same time; and a second logic to configure for the UE a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration such that a DRX ON duration overlaps with a discovery opportunity duration (DOD) according to the determination from the first logic. In another example, the eNB comprises: logic to configure for the UE a DRX configuration such that a DRX ON duration window abuts with a DOD window according to the determination from the first logic. In another example, the eNB operable to perform a method comprising: configuring, for a UE, a DRX configuration such that a DRX ON duration overlaps with a DOD.

Technology for a target evolved node B (eNB) operable to facilitate handover is disclosed. The target eNB can receive a handover request message to hand over a user equipment (UE) from the source eNB to the target eNB. The handover request message can include an evolved packet system (EPS) bearer group identifier (ID) indicating an EPS group bearer of the source eNB and associated with the UE, a last UE indicator to indicate whether the UE is a last UE of the source eNB to use the EPS group bearer, and a downlink (DL) traffic indicator to indicate whether the DL traffic for the UE during handover is negligible. The target eNB can perform a handover procedure to establish a connection with the UE based on at least one of the EPS bearer group ID, the last UE indicator, or the DL traffic indicator included in the handover request message.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for partitioning radio frequency spectrum for multiple categories of communication. Various embodiments may include partitioning of an available frequency band into a first partition for a first category of communication and a second partition for a second category of communication. In embodiments, the first category of communication may be designed for devices having a relatively lower cost of implementation than the second category of communication. In some embodiments, the first partition may be aggregated opportunistically with the second partition based on certain conditions such as, for example, under utilization of the first partition. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
摘要:
A proposed 3GPP LTE protocol enhancement disclosed herein enables an Evolved Node B (eNB) to perform a mass handoff of User Equipment from Licensed Shared Access (LSA) band spectrum to LTE Primary band spectrum without creating an over-the-air signaling surge by preventing individual handover messaging exchanges between the eNB and UEs affected by loss of LSA frequency band. A User Equipment (UE) comprises a transceiver configured to receive a broadcast paging message in a Licensed Shared Access (LSA) frequency band instructing the UE to move to a primary Long Term Evolution (LTE) frequency band from the LSA frequency band, receive system information comprising primary LTE frequency band information, extract handover parameters from the received system information for moving to the primary LTE frequency band, stop communicating on the LSA frequency band and synchronize communications with an Evolved Node B (eNB) associated with the primary LTE frequency band.
摘要:
Technology for efficiently splitting a bearer at the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer for uplink (UL) data transfers in wireless networks where dual connectivity is available is disclosed. A user equipment (UE) can send buffer status reports (BSRs) to a master evolved node B (MeNB) and a secondary evolved node B (SeNB). The BSRs can be formatted such that the amount of data in a radio link control (RLC) buffer at the UE and the amount of data in a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) buffer at the UE are contained in different fields. The BSRs can also contain redundancy indicator (RI) values specifying a redundancy level between the PDCP buffer amounts included in the BSRS. The MeNB and the SeNB may then coordinate, via an X2 interface, an amount of uplink (UL) resources to allocate to the UE.
